Betty Boo-Spellbound


Patto

Recommended Posts

Does anyone play out 'Spellbound' from the Grapevine Lp ? Poor mastering/sound quality imo . 'Detroit' Lp cut much better .

 

It's not that it's poor, it's just that to cram on 10 tracks per side, the sound gets quieter and quieter, so everything on that album is at a low volume.

Gonna resurect this thread due to my love of the track.I have the Grapevine LP with Spellbound on, but agree with Andy that the mastering is poor.Would love to play it out and would like to know if the recent first 45 release is ok to play at an OVO event.Is it legit and acceptable or is it a case of having to spin the first album release.Have any DJs spun the recent 45 and is it good sound quality.

The feedback im getting is thatThe original grapevine LP release is the only acceptable way to play it at an OV night.Real shame about the sound quality if i play it you have to mess about with gain and bass programming on mixer to get half descent results.Tragic that a 45 wasnt put out at the time

What’s wrong with the Soul Junction 45? Whoever is giving the feedback is talking bollox IMO.  You get th3badded bonus of the instrumental too if thet float yer boat. 

Totally agree with you Chalky,there

is absolutely nothing wrong with it,

i play it on the decks at venues as

original vinyl and it goes down a 

treat,the sound quality is excellent.

 

Hope that answers your question

Patto, it's okay to play it mate,

it is an original 45 release,LP's

are not singles.

I wasn't having a go at you mate. I like yourself DJ, ed at many nighters all over the country   and only ever played out original vinyl because I was fortunate enough to be able to afford them and that's how I was brought up on the nighter scene.  I was just trying to lighten up the thread. I personally don't care at certain soul nights  whatever the format.  Others for example I wouldn't even question the integrity of the promoters or Djs as to the format

So by the same token you can’t play any release on a 45 released 30/40 years after its original recording date?  

It is the original release in a 45, all dues paid.  

Some need to take their heads out of their arses before they disappear up it completely.

they make the rules up as they go along half of em, so long as it suits them  

 

Thanks for your opinion Chalky.Im not trying to make any rules up just asking for different points of view so i can make up my own mind.I Want to play Bettys record just would like opinions on what is the prefered Format at an OVO night thats all.

Play it! 100% play it! 

It's an unreleased at the time masterpiece. There's a world of difference in my eyes to 'DJs' playing something like this and trotting out 17 dodgy reissues/bootlegs. 

Some of the Pied Piper stuff from Ady was originally released on CD so when the 45s were done should we not buy 'em and play 'em? Surely that can't be right?

Best,

Dave

Thanks Dave if the Grapevine LP cut was good quality i would just play it from there as its the first time it appeared on Vinyl. BUT the cut is poor thats why im asking about the recent 45

not directly connected but along the same lines

 

Melba Moore - Magic Touch

Original release

Which came first, the LP release (May 86) or the anniversary single (Sept 86) release? based on that which is the original release and further more is it legit to play it off Horaces (1987)

Ah a conundrum if ever there was one

You can go right back to the 60s though with the original releases with this argument, which is ok the lp or the 45, the local kr the national release, all of course. But some are making these rules up to justify or give themselves some kudos for the huge amounts they spend on 45s. I mean when they spend 100s on a 45 or 45s they don’t want someone spoiling their moment with a £20 Lp.
